Merlin, Mother's Day & stuff

So, I'm six episodes into Merlin, and liking the series more with every new episode. The settings are beautiful - I never heard of Chateau de Pierrefonds before, but it's a gorgeous place - I like the playfully anachronistic air about the whole thing... I even like the monsters, even if some of them are a bit too dinosaur-like. And Lancelot is HOTTT˘.

Erm... yes... I needed to get that out of my system. The young regulars are pretty enough, but a bit too young for an old hag like me to be really interested. Which is okay, since the show's made for young people, so they are the ones who need to identify with the main characters. And while I might still be sweet 16 in the heart of my hearts, sadly, reality looks a little different.

So, Mother's Day coming up, Mum and I visited this café again:



It's a lovely little place and they have gorgeous cakes. Mum decided that an invitation would be much better than some useless present she doesn't need, so we made ourselves pretty and went there to have espresson and cheesecake with fruit jello. It was delicious, and we had fun.

We also shopped for groceries - hurrah, asparagus season is there again! We'll have asparagus with ham and cheese sauce and parsley potatoes for dinner. Yum!

The next part of Wishverse and the first chapter to "Atlantis Café" have been posted to otherworlds_lib, in case anyone is interested.

And now off for a while to watch more Merlin!
